Ligers cannot reproduce what does this tell you about lions and tigers?
their DNA isn't close enough
Do ligers only occur in captivity?

Do tiger and cheetah hybrids exist?
No, a cheetah is apart of the cat family, but is not similar to the tiger. The only cat that that is close to the tiger is the lion. Even lions and tigers can't produce offspring together, humans had to intervene and create a liger by gentically crosses them in a control enviroment. However, I'm not really sure lions and tigers can reproduce. But definitely a cheetah and tiger can't reproduce.
What must be rue for two organisms to be considered the same species?
They must be able to reproduce, and their offspring must be fertile as well. So technically, because ligers are in fact fertile, tigers and lions are one species, regardless of the fact we classify them as two.
What offspring do tigers and lions produce?
Ligers or some people call then tigons but it's most commonly used as ligers.
Which other animal in its class can a lion successfully reproduce - monkey wolve lion dog?
Lions can only reproduce with lions, however they can have babies with tigers also but the babies are like mules they cannot reproduce since the genetics aren't quite right for full reproductive success between the two species.
What does fertile offspring mean?
Fertile offspring are offspring of parents which can continue to reproduce (for example Humans). However you can also get infertile offspring which cannot reproduce (an example of this is a mule, but it is not always the case.
What is common between lion and tiger?
Lions and tigers are close genetically. In fact, they can mate and have hybrid offspring. They are both members of the genus Panthera.
